I am surprised NOCH did not include a Harley-Davidson or an Indian motorcycle.

I would like to show you the Norton Commando but a second Zündapp was accidentally packed in that case.

Details

The tires are rubber. The spokes are ingenious -- a clear hard material with spokes printed onto them. Most wheels rotate. Handlebar mirrors and signal lamps are molded onto some bikes, and all have kickstands.

As a kid Honda's 750 was the bike to aspire to; today I'd like a BMW! So these are welcome models. I think HO scale is getting to the edge of the envelope for fine detail on motorcycles. These little crotch-rockets look really good from normal viewing distances. The rubber tires and printed spokes are very clever. Detail, while over-scale, is still a worthy attempt. That some paint is sloppy is hard to see.

Overall these are neat little scene setters that will enhance dioramas and layouts. Recommend.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on RailRoadModeling.

My first model was an AMT semi dump truck. Then Monogram's Lunar Lander right after the lunar landing. Next, Revell's 1/32 Bf-109G...cried havoc and released the dogs of modeling!

Comments

One problem is that Harley Davidson is really picky regarding their trademark and licenses. That is why there is hardly a Harley in plastic anymore in any scale. Perhaps you will see classic American bikes someday... but don't count on them as labelled Harleys
